Definitely, the crisp horseshoe ambition spread far and wide among the mountain roads. A middle-aged man in a gray coat had a lot of fog on his eyebrows because he had been running through the misty mountain roads for a long time. In the distance, by a thatched hut by a mountain stream, several people were tinkering with something that looked like a small wooden box. There looks like a shovel armrest on it.

"Brother Ma, the brothers asked me to come over and spread the news that the pit by the railway has been dug." Hu Wanling turned over and dismounted, panting and pouting.

"Okay, pack everything up, and go fill the explosives right away. Lao Wu, your task is complete, go to the Dongpo forest, get ready, if little Japan catches up, we will give them a big gift at that time. ”

Ma Yanshou, who is tall and healthy, and stands up straight, with a foot of nearly 1.8 meters, is different from the Japanese soldiers with yellow muscles and thin muscles in most local areas. Ma Yanshou was a soldier with a strong and ruddy complexion, and although he was wearing the clothes of ordinary people who were similar to them, he could give people a wind of iron and blood. Hu Wanling saw with his own eyes that the other dozen or so soldiers were basically not much different from Ma Yanshou, and such soldiers were rarely seen among the guards of those division commanders, but those people seemed to have other tasks.

Ma Yanshou carried a large bag of hundreds of catties of explosives in his left and right hands, put them on several carriages, and under the actions of several horsemen, they each drove the carriage to the direction where Hu Wanling came.

The railroad stretches out on the ground in the distance. Ma Yanshou commanded several laborers to fill and put away the explosives bag and do a good job of camouflage, and at the same time jumped into two pits not far from the railway with the other person, and with the help of two comrades, they were completely camouflaged. After doing all this. Hu Wanling took a few laborers to the mountains and forests in the distance. Now, if they hadn't taken the opportunity to run far away, and when they were held accountable later, I am afraid they would not have been able to run a few, and besides, their task would have been completed by doing it here.

"Since the attack on Pingjin, until now, for most of the year, the Northwest Army of China has been as cunning as a loach. Using a large number of miscellaneous cards to drag the pace of the imperial army, they concentrated their forces, constantly killing and wounding our army, this time finally caught the opportunity by the commander of the temple, this eastward advance, our army must be the main force of the two group armies of the Chinese army annihilated in the Shijiazhuang area. Eijiro's face was undisguised with joy.

"If you want to annihilate the main forces of the two group armies of the China Army, the empire will inevitably pay a heavy price, and the fighting will of the Northwest Army of China is not comparable to that of the Northeast Army. If it weren't for the Northeast Army dragging its feet this time, we might not have been able to get such an opportunity. Toshitoshi Miura shook his head calmly.

Even if the combat objectives were completed, the artillery power of the Northwest Army was not weak. To encircle and annihilate this enemy army, I am afraid that it will cost at least more than 10,000 casualties. In Toshiji Miura's opinion. Even if Pingjin, Taiyuan have been captured one after another, and even Shijiazhuang is now within reach. The end is nothing more than how much they can achieve, but the trapped beast is still fighting, and the opponent's combat power that bursts out in a desperate situation can also make the North China Front, which has suffered serious casualties, suffer heavy losses again. More than 60,000 people were killed one after another, and the casualties were more than 100,000. By now, the casualties of the entire North China Front have exceeded a quarter, and if it were not for the tenacity of the Japanese army and the urgent replenishment of a large number of soldiers and horses in the rear, it would have been impossible to fight a long time ago.

"To put it bluntly, the Northwest Army of China is indeed a lifelong rival of the Empire. Even if they can achieve the goal this time, with the current strength of the Northwest Army, they will only shrink the defensive line, and even if they retreat to the northwest, they will not give in to the empire. Once the other side retreats, it is indeed unprecedented for the empire to retreat to the northwest. ”

Eijiro Tian said in agreement. What Tian Rongjiro didn't know was that even if the main forces of the two group armies of Zhao Tieshu and Yang Hucheng were buried in Hebei, there would still be a way for the Northwest to carry out the Battle of the Central Plains, but the battle would be more difficult.

"Not only that, but what really worries people in the Northwest is not their will to fight, but the superior strategic vision of the leaders of the Northwest." Toshishi Miura shook his head and took out a rifle from the long magazine behind him, with four block letters on the left side of the butt, Feng 918.

"This is the new standard rifle of the Northwest Army of China?" Tian Eijiro's pupils shrank.

"Yes, I have studied the various new weapons of the Northwest Army of China with Yamashita Fengwen and a few others. Among them, this new rifle, which is the most widely used in the Northwest Army of China, has a staggering 10 bullets, and the rate of fire is more than double that of the Empire's Type 38 rifle. At the same time, due to the improvement of the caliber, its subsequent frustration force was slightly smaller than that of the formal rifle in Nanjing. In several firefights with the descendants of the Northwest Army of China, the firepower of their rifles has formed a certain advantage over the soldiers of the Empire, so that the shooting accuracy of the soldiers of the Empire can no longer be exerted as before. And judging from the current situation, most of the front-line troops of the Northwest Army of China have been equipped with this new type of weapon. ”

"However, although the firepower of this weapon is stronger than that of the Type 38, the bullets consumed are nearly twice that of the Type 38, and I still prefer the Type 38 rifle produced by the Empire in terms of shooting accuracy and effective killing."

Tian Eijiro said with some pride on his face, he, like many Japanese officers, is more advocating effective killing, and the Feng 918 semi-automatic rifle equipped by the Northwest Army is in his opinion, although the firepower is strong, but the bullets consumed are also too high, and it is too wasteful compared to killing the enemy. In the entire Japanese army, there are not a few people who uphold the same idea as him.

"IT'S NOT JUST RIFLES, THEY'RE STARTING TO BE ARMED WITH 60MM MORTARS AT THE PLATOON LEVEL. AT THE BATTALION LEVEL THERE ARE ALREADY 82MM MORTARS. IN ADDITION TO THE POWERFUL 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY AND FIELD ARTILLERY, THE DIVISION HEADQUARTERS WAS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH 150MM HEAVY MORTARS. The light machine guns they used were all imitations of the Czech ZB26 light machine guns, and their performance was better than that of the Imperial Taisho 11 light machine guns. Even according to the speculation of the head of the Yamashita Fengwen Brigade, the Northwest Army of China should be equipped with an extremely sharp infantry anti-tank weapon, but since the last tank battle in Langfang, as well as an ambush outside Baoding, the empire also lost six tanks, and the other party only participated in the battle with three anti-aircraft guns, and a group of infantry, so it achieved such terrible results, but unfortunately, the empire has still not been able to capture their anti-tank weapons until now. The Northwest Army of China has formed a relatively complete military industrial system, and the combined use of all kinds of firepower has become very proficient, and the performance of the weapons they produce has been very good, from aircraft, tanks, to artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and rifles, all of which have been mass-produced. This is beyond the reach of Nanjing, and as long as this line in the northwest can still function normally, the empire will not be considered to have defeated them. (To be continued.) )
